JL was aware of the issue and was in the middle of rolling out a newer generation of device. I guess they didn’t do enough to prevent this in the meantime

I’ve heard that one before! Also, alcohol smell due to copious use of hand sanitizer.

Good news, sort of? 25 incidents over the last 15 months seems a bit high.

Also, from the end of the article, last JAC Q400 flight is 11/30? Or am I misreading that section?

That's the caee from the start of the thread.

I am impressed how quickly the UK can process a case. I wonder if that is because it is a foreigner, that they want to send to his home country to serve the time in prison?

There's a difference between 'arrested' and 'jailed'
